Dad was away when the boxes from the Gift of Life came. Last night I went over to show him them. He couldn't believe all of the things that they sent me. It's a very proud moment for me and I will be so proud if all of this goes off as planned. Dad commented that I'm going to be quite the advocate. Well... this message needs to be sent loud and clear!
The float in the parade is going to be HUGE! I'm so excited for it. I'm excited to be honouring my mothers memory and sending out the message the organ donation saves lives. Dad comment on how big the float may be and I said "Good! I want it to be so big that people see it and ask questions because that's how you generate interest!".
On a sadder note, I went to visit mom's stone at the Wellington Cemetary. It's very surreal going to see something like that with both dates on it. I felt bad that I didn't have flowers, but I will get them soon. Peach roses, her favourite. In the spring I'll take lilacs from the tree in the backyard.
